New reports are surfacing that the late Heath Ledger may have fathered a daughter with an older woman he bedded when he was only 17.

Ledger’s uncle, Haydn Ledger, said that there’s a “real possibility” that it could all be true. Heath’s parents have declined comment.

The woman in question was 25-years old and involved in a serious relationship with another man at the time. That man has helped raise the child with the woman

If the news is true, Matilda Rose has a half-sister and they would be expected to split their father’s estate.

A family source said, “She had the baby. Everyone lived under the assumption that she was the daughter of the mother’s boyfriend and that is how she has been brought up.”

The woman is now married.
